<p>The grandparent explained exactly why it is an issue though. It isn't because US is somehow just magically more legitimate than Denmark.<p>As they stated, it is because the population of Denmark is very homogenous, as opposed to the US. If you are trying to make a generalization that applies to a range beyond just white people, having Denmark as your sole sample is clearly flawed.<p>Along the same lines, picking Japan for the purpose of generalizing to wider racial/ethnic groups would also be a bad idea. Not because their research is untrusted/considered non-reputable (it is quite the exact opposite), but because their population is too homogenous.</p>

<p>> I don't think the CLI offers daily routines under the Anthropic subscription anymore?<p>It (Claude Code) does, I discovered it by accident recently, having never used daily routines before. Haven't touched Claude Desktop at all, outside of playing with it for 30 mins or so months ago.<p>TLDR: I used Claude Code to build a command that scrapes job postings from a few employers I am interested in (it is a bit more complicated than that, but that's the gist). At the end CC asked me "do you want me to re-run it daily?" I said yes, and it generated a daily routine and gave me a URL to my anthropic account page where I can see all my daily routines.<p>There, it says that I am currently using up 1 out of 15 "free" daily routines that come with my personal subscription, and I would have to pay extra if I want to have more than 15 active at a time (I assume by switching to per-token pricing for anything beyond 15, but not sure).</p>

<p>Ok, I will bite.<p>What does detaining someone over an unlawful (per the written law) protest have anything to do with corruption?<p>Corruption involves bribes, selective enforcement of the law, unethical favoritism when it comes to legal decisions, "favors", etc.<p>Your links just describe people participating in a protest that was against the law on the books, and then that law being enforced upon them. You can call that specific law unfair, undemocratic, authoritarian, etc., but what's the corruption angle here?</p>

<p>Agreed, I made the same mistake once by subbing on their website. Dealing with the eventual cancelation was an absolute pain.<p>Years later, I wanted to sub again, and this time I did it through the iOS app. Best decision ever, as now it just sits alongside my other App Store subscriptions and is easily cancelable in a single click.</p>

<p>Very much agreed.<p>There is a difference between learning woodworking as a fun hobby that would allow you to make a chair for yourself vs. doing it in hopes of turning it into a profitable business venture that would make an impact on the world.<p>By the grandparent comment logic, there is no point in doing anything, unless it can somehow lead you to making an outsized impact on the world. Thus essentially declaring most hobby pursuits (that are done mostly just for the sake of fun and learning) as wasteful.</p>

<p>Granted, I am not sure exactly how Waymo operates, but I thought that the extensive testing was mostly for legal reasons+just handling edge cases.<p>I am saying this, because I noticed that they typically start with a low-tier restrictive permit to operate (with a rather small number of cars in the fleet). Then they run it for a year or two, iron out edge cases particular to a given city (e.g., climate particularities, crazy spaghetti junctions in ATL, etc.), and log a lot of data. Then they take that data, go to the city/state, say "we have all this data that demonstrates we were very above the board while running the test pilot program, we are safe, and now we want to expand out of a very limited test pilot program."<p>And then it either goes well (Bay Area, LA, etc.) or goes off the rails for other reasons (often failing earlier for entirely unexpected reasons, like the pushback against it from taxi driver unions in NYC).<p>My point being, I could be entirely wrong, but I don't think that they literally map every single inch of the road before being allowed to operate. I just don't see it as being possible in any large populated city, given how often things change there. Just in 3 years living at one apartment in Seattle, I had a road directly adjacent to me changed from 2-way to 1-way, and then had 3-4 lanes that were basically highway entrances/exits (a block away from me) created and the whole area being rerouted entirely.</p>

<p>It depends entirely on school.<p>Mine wasn't like that (and still isn't). Multiple friends of mine are graduating from NYU this month, and their situation isn't like like that either.<p>Every school I've ever encountered gives an option to purchase (with some being way more affordable than others). E.g., NYU JD (law school) cap and gown is roughly $98 to purchase (not to rent) this year.</p>

<p>Are you talking about being able to afford a private jet? If yes, then I would hardly call it a choice. I would definitely pick private, if I could, but I believe that most people (including me) just aren't able to afford it.<p>Otherwise, I have no idea what you are talking about. TSA Precheck still requires you to go through TSA security checkpoints, and you still gotta get all your items scanned and walk through the security gate (you just don't need to pull your laptop out of the bag and don't need to take off your shoes). And you still might get occasionally pulled to the side for an extra check because you got randomly picked (happened to me twice in the past few years).</p>

<p>I will admit, I didn't think it through super deeply, but I have a very simple (and possibly naive) proposal.<p>We separate them legally the same way we separate alcohol use vs. alcohol abuse. The consequences of getting caught for speeding vs. getting caught for speeding while under influence tend to drastically differ in magnitude, so I suggest we do the same for other kinds of drug abuse.<p>Being under influence shouldn't be a mitigating factor while committing crimes, but for non-driving offenses it often ends up being such. So I suggest we treat it the same way for violent crimes as we do for driving offenses.</p>

<p>Yeah, but (as a user) I would rather have one global server crash for 1-2hrs two-three times per year, as opposed to having each individual server randomly crash once a month for at least one each time.<p>The more I sit down and try to remember how it actually was to use internet in late 00s, the only thing that always comes up is "there is no way people today would tolerate it nearly as well as we did back then".</p>

<p>> <i>Does a future employer look at pass/fail vs the grade?</i><p>I don't know for a fact how pass/fail is treated by employers, but there are indeed some that look at your college GPA even 10+ years after you graduated. I suspect they don't care about the specifics of how your overall GPA was derived though, so pass/fail likely doesn't matter (unless you did really well and expected the grade to boost your GPA, and then pass/fail essentially does nothing to the GPA, thus kinda eliminating the GPA boost).<p>I got asked for my undergrad GPA (I graduated ~10 years ago) more than once over the last year by some finance/quant firms.<p>As for whether "do those jobs even matter enough," I guess it is more of a personal subjective take. I found the work that the people at those companies did (and the problems they solved) to be very interesting and challenging, I found the people working there to be extremely sharp, smart, and genuinely nice to interact with (which is an ideal work environment for me), and I found the total comp to be great. Honestly, I cannot think of much more to ask from an employer.</p>

<p>> So, the solution is to... not provide education?<p>Where did the parent comment say that? This is about as bad faith of a take as it gets.<p>They said that providing more education is not going to help with increasing birth rates, and is likely to do the opposite. That doesn't mean that more education shouldn't be provided. Those two things are not contradictory.<p>Another example in the same category: increasing quality of life and wealth of the citizens is negatively correlated with birth rates. But it would be extremely silly to suggest that someone stating that actually means "we should not be increasing our quality of life and wealth."</p>

Asking because I am not sure how what you are saying has anything to do with my point.<p>Why would the US even consider seizing the servers? 4chan isn't breaking any US laws, and US indicated zero interest in pursuing 4chan.<p>The case I am describing is about 4chan breaking UK laws (by refusing to implement age verification), and UK OFCOM is threatening  4chan with fines and more. 4chan, as you said, is located in the US, so they claim they don't care about what UK wants, and that 4chan won't implement age verification due to 4chan not having such a requirement under their operating jurisdiction (US).<p>The only thing UK can do is block 4chan within their country, and that's pretty much it.</p>

<p>This is extremely naive and short-sighted. There is a literal example of this happening rn, and hopefully you will see why your approach isn't that good.<p>UK's OFCOM is currenly issuing legal threats to 4chan, for allegedly serving adult content and not willing to implement age verification. 4chan's lawyer tells them to pound sand[0], on the basis that 4chan is hosted in the US and has zero business presence in the UK, and UK is more than welcome to ban the website on their end through UK ISPs. The saga has been ongoing for a while, and the lawyer has been pretty prolific online talking about the case.<p>Anyway, following your approach, UK should embargo US over 4chan not willing to implement age verification as required by UK law? I plainly don't see this happening, or even being considered, ever.<p>0. <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c624330lg1ko" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c624330lg1ko</a></p>

All those factors I listed above, if neglected, can end up costing a lot more in terms of consequences.
